Anne Charlotte Lynch (Later Mrs. Vincenzo Botta). Artist: Savinien Edme Dubourjal (1795-1865). Dimensions: 7 1/4 x 5 1/4 in. (18.4 x 13.3 cm). Date: ca. 1847.Lynch, an important figure in the social and literary life of New York City in the mid-nineteenth century, was an author and poet as well as an amateur painter and sculptor. Her New York City home became a lively gathering place for artists and literati, one of the earliest salons in America. Among the artists who visited Lynch's salon was George Peter Alexander Healy (1813-94), who may have introduced her to the French portraitist Dubourjal. The fine cross-hatching in the face and background reflects his experience as a painter of miniatures. The sitter's delicate features are carefully described and enlivened with small touches of color. The rest of the drawing is rendered in subtle tones of white, gray, and black. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
